NVIDIA Mellanox MCP1600-E00AE30 100Gb/s QSFP28 DAC Cable

Brand:

NVIDIA Mellanox MCP1600-E00AE30 is a 0.5-meter passive copper Direct Attach Cable (DAC) designed for InfiniBand EDR connectivity up to 100Gb/s. It uses QSFP28 connectors, black 30-AWG construction, and is intended for short, high-bandwidth data-center and HPC interconnects. Its compact 0.5m length is particularly useful for dense rack and switch-to-server connections where excess cable length can complicate airflow and cable management.

OVERVIEW

  • NVIDIA Mellanox MCP1600-E00AE30 is a 0.5m passive copper QSFP28 DAC supporting InfiniBand EDR connectivity up to 100Gb/s. Compatibility: supported NVIDIA/Mellanox EDR QSFP28 networking equipment; verify exact host and switch ports before purchase. Model comparison: E001E30 is 1m, E01AE30 is 1.5m, while E00AE30 is the compact 0.5m option. 

USE CASES

  • HPC cluster interconnects – Provides up to 100Gb/s InfiniBand EDR connectivity for high-performance computing nodes.
  • AI and accelerated-computing infrastructure – Suitable for short-reach high-bandwidth links between compatible compute and networking equipment.
  • Server-to-switch connections – The 0.5m length is practical for closely positioned equipment inside dense racks.
  • InfiniBand EDR fabrics – Provides a purpose-built copper connection for supported 100Gb/s EDR environments.
  • Data-center rack connectivity – Helps create short, organized links between adjacent networking and compute hardware.
  • Storage networking – Suitable for supported InfiniBand-connected storage and high-throughput infrastructure.
  • Low-latency cluster networks – Direct-attach copper construction is well suited to short-distance interconnect applications.
  • Network expansion and replacement – Provides an identifiable NVIDIA/Mellanox SKU for infrastructure refreshes and spare inventories.
  • System-integrator deployments – Simplifies BOM planning where a verified 0.5m 100Gb/s QSFP28 cable is required.
  • Cable-management optimization – Short length helps reduce unnecessary cable slack in high-density racks.

KEY FEATURES

  • 100Gb/s EDR capability – Provides the bandwidth required for demanding HPC and data-center interconnects.
  • Passive copper construction – Delivers a direct-attach copper solution for short-reach applications without requiring an active optical module.
  • QSFP28 interface – Matches compatible 100Gb/s InfiniBand EDR equipment using QSFP28 ports.
